  1. Fusion Power Associates31st Annual Meeting and Symposium Fusion Energy: Focus on the FutureDecember 1 - 2, 2010 – Wash D.C.Overview – DOE FES Activities at LLNL Don Correll Program Leader LLNL Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) Program

  2. The overall management and execution of the LLNL portfolio from DOE’s Office of FES was recently clarified in 2 LLNL Administrative Memos Bill Goldstein LLNL Associate Director Physical and Life Sciences

  3. Don Correll Program Leader Wayne Meier Deputy Program Leader LLNL’s FES Program is organized through synergy and cross-disciplinesto advance the S&T foundations for both MFE and HEDLP/IFE http://fusion-energy.llnl.gov HIFS-VNL Alex Friedman DIII-D and NSTX Steve Allen Theory/Modeling Bruce Cohen Technology/Materials Wayne Meier Fast Ignition Prav Patel MFE & HEDLP/IFE Fusion HEDLP/IFE HEDLP/IFE MFE

  4. LLNL’s FES Program engages the DOE FES community through multiple collaborations Dave Hill DIII-D Deputy Director John Barnard HIFS-VNL Deputy Director Harry McLean FI ACE LLNL Leader • MFE Theory • Edge Simulation Laboratory • Fusion Simulation Project • SciDAC: FACETS and Center for Study of Plasma Microturbulence • MFE Experiments • DIII-D collaboration with GA • NSTX collaboration with PPPL • ITER Central (Plasma Start Up – Tom Casper) • HEDLP/IFE HIFS Experiments and Theory • Heavy Ion Fusion Sciences VNL • NDCX-II • HEDLP/IFE FI Experiments and Theory • FI Advanced Concepts Exploration • Fusion Science Center/Extreme States of Matter • Fusion Materials and Technology • Virtual Lab for Technology • U.S. ITER Project (Central Solenoid – Nicolai Martovetsky)

  5. LLNL’s DOE FES funded research capabilities are exemplified by . . . Plasma-Wall Interactions: Particle Flow Measurements in DIII-D Theoretical research for MFE and HEDLP/IFE plasmas • Experimental and modeling research on DIII-D NDCX II (ARRA funded) project now under construction at LBNL ITER Prototype Periscope for DIII-D

  6. LLNL’s DOE FES funded research capabilities are exemplified by . . . . Theoretical and experimental research in support of HIF Sciences HEDLP experiments/modeling in support of FI demonstration on NIF NDCX II (ARRA funded) project now under construction at LBNL Simulation • NDCX-II • Beam Simulation LLNL TITAN LPI Short-Pulse Experiments

  7. Our DOE FES funded research capabilities are exemplified by . . . . . Materials and Technology for Fusion NSTX plasma-wall interactions with novel divertors NDCX II (ARRA funded) project now under construction at LBNL Fusion Materials Vlad Soukhanovskii 2010 Early Career Award Winner ITER Magnets

  8. Focus on the Future: Office of Science “2011 Early Career” submissions to DOE FES illustrate the breadth of fusion topics from “EC” PI’s 3 within HEDLP – 2 NIF campaigns and 1 e-/ion interactions 3 within MFE – 1 DIII-D/ELM, 1 Materials, and 1 Edge Theory

  9. Focus on the Future: FES Program for High School Science Teachers provides research experience in plasma topics Research on LLNL’s EBIT led to Can. J. Phys paper co-authorship

  10. LLNL is extremely honored by FPA’s recognition of the scientific contributions of two of its FESP staff members in MFE and HEDLP/IFE Prav Patel: 2010 Excellence in Fusion Engineering Award Dmitri Ryutov: 2010 Distinguished Career Award NDCX II (ARRA funded) project now under construction at LBNL
